Im stumped...

Can anyone look at my code and tell me what I am missing for challenge number three?

Challenge Task 3 of 3

Time to hook this up to the UserManager. Add a new objects attribute that points to an instance of the UserManager class. Add the USERNAME_FIELD attribute with a value of "email". Add the REQUIRED_FIELDS attribute. It's value should be a list with just the "dob" field in it.

accounts/models.py
from django.contrib.auth.models import (
    PermissionsMixin,
    BaseUserManager,
    AbstractBaseUser
)
from django.db import models
from django.utils import timezone


class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
    def create_user(self, email, dob, accepted_tos=None, password=None):
        if not accepted_tos:
            raise ValueError("Users must accept the terms of service")

        user = self.model(
            email=self.normalize_email(email),
            dob=dob,
            accepted_tos=True
        )
        user.set_password(password)
        user.save()
        return user

    def create_superuser(self, email, dob, password):
        user = self.create_user(
            email,
            dob,
            accepted_tos=True,
            password=password
        )
        user.is_staff = True
        user.is_superuser = True
        user.save()
        return user


class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
    email = models.EmailField(unique=True)
    dob = models.DateTimeField()
    accepted_tos = models.BooleanField()
    is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    joined_at = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)

    objects = UserManager()

    USERNAME_FIELD = "email"
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ["dob"]

I'm having this exact problem, does anyone know what the issue is?
